BeONE Sports & United States Air Force Set for Take Off

Fighter Pilots Bring Cutting-Edge AI Technology in Cockpit

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, January 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- BeONE Sports announces it has been selected by AFWERX for an STTR Phase I contract in the amount of $108,197 focused on Integrative Injury Prevention Technology and Performance Enhancement Solutions for Fighter Pilots to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF).

The Air Force Research Laboratory and AFWERX have partnered to streamline the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) process by accelerating the small business experience through faster proposal to award timelines, changing the pool of potential applicants by expanding opportunities to small business and eliminating bureaucratic overhead by continually implementing process improvement changes in contract execution. The DAF began offering the Open Topic SBIR/STTR program in 2018 which expanded the range of innovations the DAF funded and now on January 15, 2025, BeONE Sports will start its journey to create and provide innovative capabilities that will strengthen the national defense of the United States of America.

“We are extremely excited to embark on this effort with the US Air Force. We’ve built an amazing team for this project, and not only is this a testament to the versatility of BeONE’s technology and forward thinking, but if we play a small part in the reduction of injury, increased war fighter lethality and ultimately help keep our pilots safe…that is a massive win.” – Scott Deans, Founder & CEO
